#1 - Deals on Wheels

Season 14 - Episode 1 - Aired 1/21/2016

Drugs and drug driving have become a major challenge for North Yorkshire's traffic cops. Last year, police made nearly 200,000 drugs seizures in England and Wales. In North Yorkshire, seizures were at a ten-year high. In this episode, whilst North Yorkshire's specialist road crime team targets drug deals in transit, a full-scale investigation unfolds in the aftermath of a high-speed crash on one of the county's fast rural dual carriageways. It becomes clear that speed may not have been the only contributory factor to the crash, which resulted in the death of the driver. Dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy left behind by drivers too drugged to drive has become all part of the traffic cops' daily routine.

On the outskirts of York, a driver wanted in connection with a shop theft fails to stop for the police, and when she crashes whilst trying to get away from the pursuing officers, the traffic cops are called in to deal with the aftermath of the crash and investigate their colleagues. When a Selby officer spots a disqualified driver parking up outside an address, the traffic cops are placed on alert. After a short stakeout at the address, the disqualified driver returns to the car and soon realises the officers are on his tail. Another high-speed chase ensues, but this time the driver abandons the car. Not willing to let their man get away, the traffic cops call in a search team and a manhunt begins.
